The movie National Treasure suggests that something is
written on the back of the Declaration of Independence. As protectors
of this important, original document, we know there is nothing hidden
there. But it is true that something is written on its back. See for
yourself...

The writing on the back of the Declaration of Independence reads:

"Original Declaration of Independence
dated 4th July 1776"

and it appears on the bottom of the document, upside down. While no
one knows for certain who wrote it, it is known that early in its life,
the large parchment document (it measures 29 inches by 24 inches) was
rolled up for storage. So, it is likely that the notation was added
simply as a label. The writing that appears at the bottom in this view
is actually ink from the top of the front side that has seeped through
the parchment to the back of the document.

A Justice Department civil rights investigation has concluded that the Ferguson Police Department and the city's municipal court engaged in a "pattern and practice" of discrimination against African-Americans.
